Piano students in the Music Performance<\/a> program presented their first recital on Dec. 9 in the Black Box Theater in the Liberal Arts and Arts and Humanities Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrea Edwards<\/a>, acting program director, said students embraced the challenges and opportunities offered within the new program, and this chance to perform what they learned over the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe result is a successful series of vibrant performances delivered with artistry and excellence,” she said. \u201cThese shared experiences and performances form the core of the culture of \u2018enquiry through performance\u2019 we are building in the new Music Performance program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cameron Chin, Grace Lunsford, Ricky Miller, Gavin Orris, Yuna Lo and Myles Murphy performed in the recital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo, a junior Performance and Visual Studies<\/a> student, performed three works: \u201cMinuetto\u201d by Domenico Scarlatti; \u201cToccatina in Black and White,\u201d by Robert D. Vandall; and she was joined by Murphy for \u201cTheme from Polovetzian Dances\u201d by Alexander Borodin.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was Lo\u2019s first semester learning piano from Edwards. Within 12 individual lessons, she learned three pieces for the recital while learning about music theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProfessor Edwards has been very supportive and a helpful teacher in every way possible,\u201d Lo said. \u201cShe is a very thoughtful and an experienced musician that goes above and beyond to ensure success in our music.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo said the recital felt like a welcoming space to perform for friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really just enjoyed every moment of it,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to creating and building more music performances and collaboration with our students and faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murphy, a junior Computer Science student, performed two works: \u201cSonata in D major, Hob XVI:37\u201d by Franz Joseph Haydn; and \u201cArabesque 2: Allegretto Scherzando\u201d by Claude Debussy. He said he was excited to collaborate with Lo and perform the \u201cPolovetzian Dance\u201d duet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned how to appear confident and continue playing,\u201d he said. \u201cEven if I made a mistake during the performance, I kept going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other performances included Grace Lunsford on \u201cRegrets,\u201d composed by Robert D. Vandall. Ricky Miller performed \u201cThe Cuckoo,\u201d composed by Louis-Claude Daquin; and \u201cAin\u2019t Misbehavin\u2019\u201d by Fats Waller, arranged by Lee Evans. Gavin Orris performed \u201cPineapple Rag\u201d by Scott Joplin; and performed and arranged \u201cRequiem of Silence\u201d by Kenchiro Suehiro. Cameron Chin performed \u201cEtude #4 \u2018Embraceable You\u2019\u201d by Earl Wild; and \u201cSonata No. 5\u201d by Alexander Scriabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwards said she is proud of her students, and noted that \u201cexcellence in performance can only be achieved with equal excellence in preparation.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe recital is evidence of their talent and dedication,\u201d she said. \u201cThe wonderful bonus for me is that they are genuinely wonderful people, too. This is only the beginning \u2014 I can’t wait to hear what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
